Anyone got good advice how I can avoid getting a hair iron burn?

the glove is a heat protective styling glove so you can touch your hair without burning your hand. It is pretty easy to burn yourself because it is so hot. try watching the TiGi videos on YouTube. For a more wavy look I keep my hair around the curler for a couple of seconds and then I run my fingers through.

Buying an iron with variable heat settings is really important as it gives you control.

If you have hair that is fragile, fine or color treated, you should set the heat below 200 degrees otherwise you are risking burning or damaging your hair.

If you have curly, coarser type hair, you can set the heat higher - around 200-300 degrees.

But never go above 400 degrees no matter what you hair type is like.

1. Make sure your hair is dry
2. Use oils
3. Prep the flat iron at the right temperature
4. Straighten your hair with your overall style goal in mind
5. Brush don't comb!
6. Add volume

Does your daughter have bangs? I find that wispy bangs can help to soften a square face. Avoid cuts with straight bangs and very straight or symmetrical styles as this just accentuates the problem. Anything wavy or wispy should help.

i'm lookin gfor a solution too; mine was fine one day, now both plates wont heat, even though it says its gotten to the temperature i set. Someone else said the heating coils might've burned out and to get a new one?

Chi Flatiron Repair Fix it Yourself User Photos

Most appliances come with manuals that give you company contact information. My guess is the iron is out of warranty. As irons have high voltage components, do it yourself is not advised. Staying alive is better than fixing an iron. That said, the above link even tells you how to take it apart. I have a hunch that good parts would have to come from another broken Chi iron. And where would you get that! Maybe someone on the above link can be contacted. Alas, you simply wanted a reliable business that might check this out. I doubt you want to pay a technician for his time in taking this apart. I wish you well.

first of all check the male ac adaptor cord, maybe an open wire only cause by pulling and pushing it. if the ac cord is good then the filament may checked maybe it burn--out already
